Sort of like how social.domain.tld can point to a social server, smtp.domain.tld can point to a mail server, etc.

@evan I prefer it. DNS and the Internet are more than just the Web, so I like the idea of having a subdomain that can point to your webserver.

@evan We both believe that beings have rights and dignity. You seem to believe that there theoretically can be machines that are beings, and I don't

@evan This isn't about denying rights and dignity, this is about whether AI are actually *beings* (and thus whether rights and dignity apply). About the being-on-the-wrong-side-of-history thing — lots of good things have been on the wrong side of history.

@evan I'm saying AI is not conscious, not humans.

@evan Human-equivalent AI being treated equivalently to humans... many don't believe AI can ever even be alive, no matter how human-like it may appear.
We can arrange physical particles, but consciousness itself is something fundamentally beyond physics. And so AI is consciousless.

@kylebanks I think it adds a natural element to it.

@royal Good Morning by Mandisa! 😀

@kyle You remind me of myself. There's always an overabundance of interesting things to do!

@CM30 Big fan I see :)

You know, if PCs came with embedded #FPGA​s it might be possible to actually, more or less, 'download more RAM'. #dedotatedWAM

@codrusofathens You get it!

It is 1:00 AM and I am still awake. Not because of programming, though. Well, often times it is indirectly programming. I also have a cold (random)

In my case, the issue is struggling with writing computer programs when I should be doing schoolwork. Given that I'm a Computer Science major, this interestingly means that the very thing that could theoretically be my downfall is supposed to be my second greatest success.

In #college, talent is naturally being able to excel in your major, whereas wisdom is not playing videogames all the time so that you have the time to study.
A dilligent student does better than a lazy naturally skilled one.

@lydiaschoch H a s h t a g d u c k

@evan Maybe I should start. Seems like a good way for people to get to know me.

@evan Well that was a landslide :)

Bodily problems can accumilate. Like many, I like my body, but it only gets older....
The expendability of your body is like the expendability of a car. You never intend for it to last forever, but you still avoid dents and even scratches. It will last longer if you treat it well, though it can suddenly get destroyed in a catastrophe.
